    My truck got outside yesterday for the second time EVER!:) But, I had to push it.:( It isn't running yet but getting close. Chaddilac came over today and we ran brake lines. Sooo..... its finish the brakes, figure out the freakin carb linkage:eek:, run the fuel lines and wiring, and get a drive shaft figured out and fire it up!!!!:D:D:D Can't wait, I am probably about 4 or 5 weeks away if I get time! here are the latest pics from outside.

    Looks good. I know the feeling. I had a new baby 2 weeks ago. I am a strong month from finishing. Needless to say the dust has settled in my shop outback.

    I am in the NE part of the state near Tulsa. You are probably going way south for those, good luck.

    Grove is about a hour and a half north and east of me. You must be going to Grand lake.

    Just a great way to start my day. That truck is nice and you will forget soon about all the time it took. About the second fill, up you'll be just fine.:D
